HyperX Savage 16GB 2400MHz DDR3 Memory Review

Introduction

Play3r have been fortunate to feature a huge variety of Kingston products and one of the products that stuck out was their HyperX Fury memory which not only performed pretty decently but looked aesthetically gorgeous! HyperX is, of course, Kingston’s gaming brand and it has been trying to cement its legacy for a while now, but the question is “How is that going?”. Is the HyperX memory as fast as it sounds and what kind of performance do you get for your money?

Well to cut a long story short, I have their latest HyperX memory kits in my midst in the shape of the Kingston HyperX Savage 2400MHz memory which features CL11 timings and is a direct replacement for the HyperX Genesis range which is currently being phased out. With the focus on enthusiasts and gamers alike, does the name fit the bill? Does this “Savage” kit have what it takes to bite their way through the market? Let’s take a look…

Today I take a look at my first kit of DDR4 RAM in the form of the Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666MHz kit. With a higher CL speed and lower Voltage let's see how it compares to that of the previous DDR3 variants.
